Chicken Beauty Pageant

We love normal everyday chickens that are prolific egg layers here at backyard farming. However we also adore some of the more exotic breeds. How can you look at the following breeds and not want to own a chicken?

Silkie

Silver Laced Polish

Blue Sumatra

Houdan

Black Frizzle Cochin Bantam

Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam

Which of the above do you like the best?

    Silver Laced Polish for the win! I've been having a really bad day today; this post put a smile on my face. Thank you.

    Silver Laced Polish looks pretty regal to me.

    Am I allowed to love them all the best? Okay, I have to pick the Sumatra because...well...just look at those tail feathers!

    I know. That's why I just got 4 Sultan chicks in the mail. I had one and it died last summer. So I have 7 for laying and 4 for cuteness.
